I had a bilateral extended brachioplasty with liposuction (which did not result in much of an improvement and actually caused other cosmetic issues) over a year ago. I still can't get through a work day without feeling swollen, weak and sore. I don't know what is wrong or what doctor to even see? Is this normal?? I refuse to go back to my PS - the insurance actually covered the surgery the first time as well as the revisions I requested but did not do (he also left me with dog ears with my breast lift)

Answer: One year post op I'm sorry to hear of your discomfort. No it is is not normal to experience daily issues from your surgery one year out. If you aren't comfortable going to your surgeon I recommend visiting another board certified plastic surgeon near you for an evaluation.

Answer: Pain at 1 year Thank you for your question. It is not normal to still have pain 1 year after brachioplasty surgery. My suggestion would be to scheduled a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine what is causing your discomfort, as well as to discuss what options may be available to you to fix it. Take care.

Answer: No Thank you for your question. Pain lasting this long is atypical. There are a lot of nerves scattered across your body, and surgery can cause trauma to them with unusual results. One cause may be due to a nerve ending that didn't heal correctly resulting in a neuroma. This can be treated with surgery. A plastic surgeon can evaluate you for this as well as fix the other cosmetic issues you are having.
